The exhibition A suspended world is a solo show that took place in May 2022 at the Edmond Rostand multimedia library, Paris' 17th district.

It was a story of the pandemic, with photographs, poems, paintings, photo-paintings, videos and children's books produced during this period.

“March 2020, Paris, confinement is in full swing. Locked in my house, hidden behind the curtains, I photograph my neighbors in the courtyard. Outside, the parks are closed and Montmartre is beyond the regulation kilometer; as for many, it's impossible to admire the budding spring. The sun is shining, the air is mild and I'd love to get out for a walk. I miss nature terribly. So I ask my best friend Isabelle - yes, just like me - to take some shots of the outdoors. Our confinements are hardly alike. She lives in the Belgian countryside, on the border with Luxembourg, and takes her dog for a walk in the woods every day. A daily photographic dialogue develops between us. Every day, I place an order to her: could you send me photos of this, photos of that? She finds trees, shadows, dead leaves, forests, blades of grass, ladders, attics, sand... I try to guess what might inspire you best,” she says. I mix my own photos with hers. I take them through the looking glass, into a dreamlike world between dream and reality, concrete and nature, freedom and captivity. I use my camera as a means of distorting and reshaping the world so that it comes as close as possible to what I feel. In this way, I reappropriate the situation and offer myself a few breaths of fresh air and freedom without leaving home. With my friend, it's like seeing each other for real. It's important to keep in touch at such times. From my winged window series was born of these experiments between the two of us...

…The fly inaugurates my painting work, started during the second confinement.

First crowds of clawed and fanged monsters and individuals in vinyl paint and gesso on large formats or watercolor and ink on smaller formats, then, discovery of iPad painting, still monsters, abstraction and portraits sometimes derived from photographic portraits I've taken.

Then I moved on to photo-paintings, a synthesis between these two mediums, the beginning of a new approach for me.”
